Food Allergies in Movies and Television
The Oscars are this weekend and while we love to be surprised by the Best Picture winner, getting surprised by a food allergy scene in a movie, not so much. With food allergies increasingly making guest appearances in movies, TV, and other media, we’re fans of getting a sneak preview, which is why we’ve created the largest resource of 42 movies and TV shows that feature food allergies so you can check before you hit play. Our Food Allergy Movie + TV Guide details which character has the allergy, what they’re allergic to and whether or not there’s a reaction, plus a brief description of the scene. If you have a movie or TV show we can add, please share it here to help us grow this resource!
